Hi,
I'm new to airbrushing and just received my first airbrush for Christmas!
I specifically chose the Eclipse because it has a drop-in nozzle and the price difference to the Revolution was negligible.
After having a play with it for the first time I cleaned it and as I screwed the nozzle back in I overtightened it and it snapped But now I'm really confused. I thought the nozzle was meant to be a single solid piece that is "drop-in" and not a screw in nozzle? I thought it was supposed to be like this: http://www.air-craft.net/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=nozzle eclipse&PN=Iwata-6042-0.35mm-Nozzle.html#SID=1540
I've looked around on you tube which has confused me further as some are screw and some are drop-in (see
and
).
Have I got a genuine Eclipse HP-CS airbrush with drop in nozzle as stated on the website? It's a Japan import. Photos are attached.
Assuming it is genuine, what should I buy as the replacement? The box says the nozzle is 0.3mm and having looked around, the one I have looks very much like a Revolution nozzle: http://www.air-craft.net/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=nozzle revolution&PN=Iwata-7042-0.3mm-Nozzle.html#SID=1540
Or do I need to contact the retailer as I've not got the right product? It was advertised as "drop in".
Thanks for your help
